The Wolf Game - Panic Station - Werewolves Win!

Right, so the signup for the next game will involve sending me a PM entitled “TWG role” :stuck_out_tongue:

Might be a good idea to bring this up in the forum bug thread, or on meta.discourse.org.

I just played as I would have played as a human. No headache, no worries, good times. :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow that was hard!! I enjoyed it. I was actually addicted; however, I have decided this game is not for me. For one thing I am an extremely honest person and do not like to lie at all. Second, I trust everyone. I trust people until they give me a reason not to trust them, whereas in this game you lie and never trust anyone. I would never make it as a wolf. The whole game goes against my character, even though I love it. The thing I loved the most about the game was the story telling and when everyone posted in character. Martin and Noble, you are truly gifted writers.

Oh! I did lie about one thing! I’m Cosmos’s Mother. Initially I was actually playing the game with his sister, but she got too busy and I took over entirely on the third day. Cosmos would always talk about the wolf game and I would get so got up in the drama of it all. So when he told us there were extra spots open for this game I wanted to play. I was chicken and enlisted the help of my daughter. It was her account and we were initially going to play this account together, but she abandoned me to play on my own. Then I was really left on my own after Cosmos died. All he would say is “Mom you need to be posting and telling them your thoughts.” I would sit hours on end reading post trying to decide what to do, then take another hour to write a long post and decide not to post it. Everything in my life has suffered for this game. My husband would be so mad when I was on the game instead spending time with him. Thankfully I could trust Noble and Xamino. Hope I didn’t make the game more complicated. I was just starting to get the hang of it, oh well.

Well, I did have a great exit line to say in character but I’m dead so it doesn’t work now. So this is Farwell I will not return-- though my daughter might come back in the future, she can actually lie and not trust people. (Like the rest of my kids) 

I should have trusted my gut and let enginish die to my poison, however, I started talking to people and I my conviction wavered. This is why I don’t get involved with “groups”.

Nice to see someone jump into the cold water.

Though I think you over thought the whole thing. There are many ways to play this game and if you oppose one style, there is always another way around the corner. If lying is something you can’t bring yourself to do, then play as if you hadn’t said information. Sure there will always be situations that will bring you to a limit but overcoming said accusations is what makes this fun and the reason this is played with humans instead of some kind of AI.

For instance, you could have easily roleplayed additional to all you dared to post and most of my suspicion (which was real by the way even though I knew you were human) would have vanished.

I too enjoy roleplaying but it takes time and dedication and for this game I felt it didn’t really fit. You could go and reread some of our older games. Some of them got really intense:

Sadly the old forum isn’t accessible … we had some fun ones over there too.

Hope to see you change your mind and try again. Also mind that this is the internet, you could always create a new account and join in “anonymous”. And if it sucks you in again and gets out of hand, just remind yourself that this is just a game.

Nice game, didn’t die on the first night. I just wish we had some tougher rules regarding inactivity.

Yeah, the inactivity was pretty bad this game :frowning:

I’m always hesitant to kill players who are inactive because the games are quite finely balanced - killing a player from one team probably hands victory to the other team. Maybe I’ll come up with some balancing factors I can apply on the fly to correct for the untimely death of a player and balance things again.

Thanks Lomsor! It didn’t suck, I was totally addicted to it. Just very difficult and hard figure out what to do. Who knows maybe when all the kids are back in school and life is not so crazy.

Argh 50% isn’t that bad for day 2 speculation…and I voted for both of you at one point(I think) :’(

I don’t know what you talk about. We had games in the past where some players would only post on the first day, those were a lot worse.

Are we talking about the dual day? It was just Topper that didn’t post something for one day and then let the dual day slip, before that he was “adequately” active. Maybe I’m missing someone.

Maybe concretecise “inactive” in the rules. Like, not posting for two days straight in the row or something.

I love how the wolves just keep discussing to kill me but never got around to it. :sweat_smile: And in case you were wondering: the “weakness” I had was that I could only ever protect a person once, then never again. And I already had protected myself on night 3…

I enjoyed the roles but I agree that the humans need encouragement to use them. The lack of never knowing what alignment a lynch was also played into the wolves’ hands, me thinks, although it made the game very tense.

Also, I should have listened to King_Cosmos and tried to get rid of Enginish earlier, but I basically had no solid evidence to use against him. So to all the wolves: well played! A deserved victory!

Oh hey Cise. By the way. You earned this:

I don’t expect other people to show my dedication, but I was covering for ten early morning shifts (5:45) across two weeks with my brothers graduation in the middle and my sisters wedding at the end, yet despite being completely drained of energy for the entire time I was still the most active player in the thread.

This is why I was hesitant to sign up in the first place. I get dragged in, and then I get frustrated that no-one is actually talking to each other.

Before today Topper hadn’t posted in 10 days (which was a single line), and this came 3 days after his previous post, while he hadn’t voted on a lynch since the beginning of the game.

I understand his reasoning that “no-one made him” participate, but when it’s already a struggle cultivating what little discussion is already being made I don’t have time to go on a tangent and take a risk lynching someone I know absolutely nothing about.

is it too late to defect to the wolf side?

Well, that was a long read. I was a bit frustrated that I got killed so early, and I was the medic by the way, not the vigilante. I came up on the second night because I wanted to see if Lucas was human or not. I never told a soul. I actually messaged cosmos if he knew who the vigilante was, because I thought noble was a wolf and had offered to trade information(roles), so I feared I was under the chopping block already. I was, but for a different reason. sigh

Well played guys! You deserve it. I should be a little more trusting, but I figured if it became public that I was the medic I’d be a pretty easy target in the double night. Which I was anyways…

I can sympathize with this. As a human (and especially as a wolf) it’s very tempting to just coast when you aren’t in immediate danger. This is invariably bad for the humans and usually makes the game less fun for both sides.

I hope you’re not permanently soured on wolf games though, Sane. You’re a formidable player, and very fun to play with! Next time, it will be better maybe! Also I’m sorry Cise’s honorary wolf badge is nicer than yours

Nobody knows for sure

If he does, I’ll consider it concrete evidence that he’s a wolf.
